Pictures from a submarine dive to the 20,000-foot-deep Kermadec Trench in the South Pacific reveal weirdos from the deep, some of which may be new to science.

One of the deepest ocean trenches on Earth, the Kermadec Trench in the South Pacific, is home to rarely seen sea creatures living in the hadal zone, at depths between 20,000 and 36,000 feet (6,000 to 11,000 meters). Now, a new underwater expedition has released stunning photos of these oddities.
